These courses teach participants correct usage and procedures for verifying the accuracy of measuring devices used at your facility.

Each of the twenty-one video/worksheet combinations focuses on a particular measuring tool. The steps outlined in each course ensure the tool is being used properly — and providing reliable measurements.

Users will learn best-practices for handling and storing measuring equipment, stabilizing tools and part features for improved accuracy, and how to perform a simplified verification (also known as a “Field Check”) for each tool covered in the training series.

BACKGROUND: Ensures your technicians understand the common uses and functionality of each measuring tool

Our Basic Measuring Tools online courses are cross-platform and are compatible with most modern web browsers and popular handheld devices, such as tablets and smartphones. This provides exceptional flexibility, allowing technicians to train at their own pace on the production floor – without costly trainers or consultants.

Who Could Benefit from the Basic Measuring Tools SkillSet™ Series?

The Basic Measuring Tools series is ideal for operators, inspectors, technicians, engineers, machinists, quality and maintenance personnel, research and development, metrology, field support, tooling – or anyone that works with measuring tools in any industry.

These courses discuss common gauges, indicators, calipers and micrometers. Both analog and digital displays are covered — as well as both Imperial and Metric units, making these courses relevant to a wide range of applications and manufacturing facilities around the world.

Using a Go / No-Go GaugeDetermine whether a part is acceptable or not, using a go / no-go gauge.

Using Pin GaugesDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification by taking pin gauge measurements.

Using Thickness GaugesDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification by taking thickness gauge measurements.

Using Gauge BlocksCreate three specific heights using multiple gauge blocks — and then verify these heights through measurement.

Using a Linear IndicatorDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on a linear indicator measurement.

Using Slide Calipers for Outside MeasurementDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on an outside measurement taken with slide calipers.

Using Slide Calipers for Inside MeasurementDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification, based on an inside measurement using slide calipers.

Using Slide Calipers for Depth MeasurementDetermine whether a specific part feature is within specification based on a depth measurement using slide calipers.

Field-Checking Slide CalipersDetermine if a caliper is functioning properly by performing a field check.
